			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Women Boxing Archive Network (WBAN) is a complete site dedicated to women&#8217;s boxing. On this website you can find everything from current and archived fighting stats, to fighter profiles and interviews. In addition you can look up any woman boxer&#8217;s rankings and even find a full archive of knockouts. You can learn the history of women&#8217;s boxing (which is quite interesting, by the way), and learn some boxing trivia. But the cool thing about this site is that it comes highly recommended by both USA Today and ESPN &#8211; not bad!</p>
<p>So I bet you&#8217;re asking, &#8220;Why would I want to keep up with women&#8217;s boxing?&#8221; Because it&#8217;s interested &#8211; that&#8217;s why! Let&#8217;s face it; there are some women who were meant to be boxers, and that is an intriguing concept. For example, Maggie Fitzgerald played by Hilary Swank in the Oscar-winning movie Million Dollar Baby had a passion for boxing that could not be deterred. Of course, this is a fictional tale, so I&#8217;ll give you an example from reality TV. If you ever watched the Bad Girls Club on Oxygen, you would have seen a &#8220;wild child&#8221; named Ty who had grown up rough and was used to living even rougher. She got into an altercation with a girl on the show and boxed her around like a man fresh out of training. I guess her stint in jail may have played a role in her expert combination punches, but needless to say, she was approached by a boxing gym wanting to train her after she was booted from the show, and she excitedly took them up on the offer.</p>
<p>It is interesting to think that in a world where women are thought to be dainty and, well, feminine, that there would be some who want to step outside of that box. But there are those women, and they are found on various websites about women&#8217;s boxing.</p>
<p>Some of these websites provides an opportunity, not just to learn more about women&#8217;s boxing, but to also provide upcoming boxers with help stepping into the ring. As an amateur boxer, you can sign up on their registry and then you will be entered into a database with tons of women boxers who are fighting professionally and as amateurs. The registry is a way for women boxers to contact other boxers, as well as to be seen by promoters and matchmakers who will then contact them for a potential fight. Women boxing websites stress, however, that if you have absolutely no training, you must get some before signing up in their registry. They don&#8217;t want first-timers, but they will accept &#8220;fresh meat.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you are a guy visiting a woman boxing website but none of this interests you, then you&#8217;ll be happy to know there is a &#8220;hot women&#8221; page filled with pictures of boxers when they&#8217;re looking pretty for the camera. Of course, these pictures are in the member zone with all of the other cool photos. As a member, you will have access to online streaming videos of fights, extensive records on all women boxers, and a complete women boxer&#8217;s photo gallery. Membership is reasonably priced if you choose to have a membership, but if you&#8217;re really interested in learning more about what&#8217;s going on in the world of women&#8217;s boxing then this membership will probably be worth it. Just remember to always do more extensive research before spending your money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A boxing match between two women is called foxy boxing.These are quite different from boxing matches between men. Boxing matches between men focus on power and stamina. Foxy boxing too has a focus on stamina and power, but also adds a couple of dimensions that male boxing matches do not provide. Foxy boxing often adds a touch of sultriness to boxing matches.</p>
<p>The context for these foxy boxing matches often lean towards the sexual, thus providing a form of entertainment that can only be described as erotic.To add to the sensuality, the contestants are often clad in skimpy outfits like bikinis. Some foxy boxing matches even feature topless women. Women&#8217;s boxing was first demonstrated at the 1904 Olympics. In 1988, the Swedish Amateur Boxing Association gave permission for events in women&#8217;s boxing. This led to the revival of women&#8217;s boxing as a sport.</p>
<p>An interesting tidbit here is that in the United Kingdom, when women&#8217;s boxing was first sanctioned in 1997, the first official match was to have been held between two 13 year olds. However, the media was so hostile to the entire idea that one of the contestant actually pulled out of the match. There are many categories of foxy boxing matches, ranging from the amateur to pro-amateur to complete professional. It is important to remember that this is not the same thing as women&#8217;s professional boxing, which is the sort we refer to when speaking about the Olympics and other recognized competitions.</p>
<p>In the United Kingdom, women&#8217;s boxing was pioneered in the 1980s by Sue Atkins. Unfortunately, she did not receive any official support and had to build awareness about women in this sport, even though public sentiment was not with her. The first British woman to be issued with a license was the 1996 Women&#8217;s International Boxing Federation welterweight title winner Jane Couch. Recently, women&#8217;s boxing has received a boost with the entry of the daughters of very famous retired boxers.</p>
